Bolxharan Slavery Abolished.

A recent number of The Pravitelstv-
emmy Vyestnik, published in st. Peters
burg, announces tho issue of a decree set
ting free tho whole of the slaves in the
khanate of Bolxhara. Tho movement
which has thus happily eliminated in an
important stroke for civilization in CEN
trail Asia began in 1873, in which year
the late Emir Seid Musafar made pledge
for the abolition of slavery within his do
minions, and fixed term of ten years
for giving effect to the reform. In
earnest Of his sincerity, the emir took ac-
tive steps against the dealers in slaves
and succeeded in breaking up several no
torious markets.
But while the sources of supply re-
manned untouched his efforts, though
they made the slave tre de difficult, failed
to secure its abolition. The slaves brought
into Bokhara were almost exclusively
Persians, who had been handed over to
the dealers by the Turcomans of the
Achat- -Telke and Merv oases. SO long
as these oases were swept as far as the
very borders Of Persia by the robbcr
tribes of the central Asian desert, tho
enlir felt that his work could have no
moro than partial success. But when
Russia finally annexed the territories Of
the offending Turcomans the occupation
of the man stealer was gone, and the last
stone of the fabric of Bokharan slavery
fell into the dust. t.--Boston Transcript.

The peculiar varieties of insane people
are as interesting sometimes as they are
pitiablc. Ina car the other night | talked
with man who proposes to make loco
motion in Chicago as easy as standing
still, which is easier to some people than
even rolling off log" He is going to
have two sidewalks in each street, each
sidewalk to fill the street to the center
platforms covering the entire street.
These two platforms are to be on rollers,
and are to be set in motion, one running
one way, the other the other. For exam
pie, the sidewalk on the north side Of
Madison street is to run west and that on
the south side is to run east. If person
wishes to go west on that street he has
only to step upon the sidewalk and stand
still. 1t win take him there; and as the
sidewalk goes to the middle of the street
teams as well as persons viii be carried
right along. Tho poor man was so serious
about it all and was SO confident that he
was going to carry out his scheme that
had not the heart to ask him how he was
going to manage it at street intersections,
but probably if / had no would have
flashed scheme on me fully as practical
bic as the one he had already detailed. /
wonder if tho man who first thought Of
the telegraph-long, long before the prac-
tical thing which we now call the tele-
graph was thought of-was insane, too.

As John Quincy Adams, then repre-
sentative in congress, was crossing the
hall of the house of representatives on the
afternoon of May 18, 1910, one of his feet
caught in the straw mating on the floor,
and caused him to fall with such violence
as to dislocate his right shoulder. After
being conveyed to his residence, however,
the shoulder was restored to its socket,
and, regardless Of what most men would
consider very sufficient reason for re-
manning at home, this faithful represen-
tative, with his bandaged shoulder and
disabled right arm, was again at his post
in the house of representatives at the
usual hour Of meeting the next day

In answer to the question, "What
speed is attained by tho fastest steamer

plies: s'The ordinary good torpedo boats
In foreign navies make about twenty
two miles an hour over the measured
mile. There arc few, including the
American boat Stiletto, that can make
twenty-five miles an hour. The fastest

Taxes in the Millennium.

Col. Bob Ingersoll proposes that all
homes shall be made free from taxation.
Henry George, Col. Bob's present teach
er in politics. wants to have nothing taxed
except the bare land.
The Progressive Democrats, Ingersoll's
and Georges party, want all the land di.
vided up, SO that each man may have .
home.
Supposing that all these statesmen have
their way and attain their purpose, and
that no taxes arc put on anything but the
land, and all the land is put into homes,
and the homes are all free from taxes
then there will be only one thing to do.
This will be to fall back on Horace
Greely's plan; and pay all the taxes out OF
the public treasury y-Neto York Sun.

A Valuable Ore in Hartford.
Belair -Nqis.


One day last week, near Fawn Grove, Mr..
Charles L. Dallam, of Belair, saw little fellow,
seven or eight years old, who had cocoanut shell
half filed with small particles of black metal or
ore, which the lad, with great gee, said he could
sell at the store for rs cents. Mr.. Dallam
made inquiries and learned that the substance
was titanium ore, and that the small boys of the
neighborhood obtain spending money by gather
ing it out of the sand in Falling Branch, a little
stream near Fawn Grove. The price paid at the
stores is from 10 to 25 cents per pound. The boys
stand upon a rock and with hoe bring up a
quantity of sand, in which they find the particles
Of ore, some of them weighing two or three ounces
each. Mr.. Dallam went to the stream and in a
short time got several ounces of the ore. One boy
got out two pounds in two hours. Another boy
obtained $l2 worth in short time. The ore is
almost black and is found in various sized par
ticles, evidently crystals, which have been ab-ad-
ed by the sand. They are as heavy as iron, hard
and brittle, and when broken present lustrous
appearance. The boys call it titanium. The
substance has been found in the neighborhood of
Fawn Grove for many years and at one time
of Falling Branch appears to be rich in the ore
and pieces are frequently picked up in the corn
fields adjacent. Titanium is a metal used chiefly
to furnish a yellow color in porcelain painting
and to give the proper tint to artificial teeth. 1t
occurs in many parts of Europe and America, the
richest localities in the United States being in
Chester and Lancaster counties, Pa The ores
of titanium vary in appearance, and are known
under the general term ttanite, some of them
being called rutile, sphene, anatase, &c.

THE MARYLAND INsTITUTE-THE FINE OLD
BUILDING IN A BRAN NEW DREss.-Persons who
have passed by the Maryland Institute lately
have been struck by the transformation in the
appearance of the building produced by the re-
painting of the entire structurein attractive and
tasteful colors. One of the officials of the Insti-
tute stated to Ne0S reporter that the renovation
of the building was accomplished by means of
the appropriation recently made by the Mayor
and City Council of Baltimore. The work was
done under the personal supervision and direc-
ton of Mr. Theodore Oster, inspector of building,
and only the very best material was used. The
paint used was that manufactured by the New
Jersey Enamel Paint Company, the excellence of
which has become known to the public through
the fact that it has been also used upon the Amer
lean and San buildings, Ford's Grand Opera
House, the Carrollton Hotel and many other con-
spicuous structures. Mr.. Oster was requested
by the president of the Institute and several of
the directors to use this paint when the appro-
pration was made. He was at first disinclined
to acquiesce in the suggestion, owing to the fact
that he did not believe in ready-mixed paints
His opposition arose from the fact that he had
experienced the worthlessness of many articles
put upon the market under the name of ready
mixed paints, some of which were limitations of
the article suggested by the Institute officials,
and none of which were satisfactory to gentle
man so thoroughly capable of judging the excel
lence of paint as Mr.. Oster. When, however,
his attention had been called to the buildings
mentioned above, and he had seen practical
demonstration Of the qualities of this paint, he
consented, with his usual courtesy, to the wish
Of those who had urged him to the article,
and the result has more than equalled the antici-
pations of those who had urged the use of this
paint.
Mr. c. P. Knight, No. 211 E. Lombard street,
new number), who is the general agent here
stated to NeaCS reporter that he had been SELL
ing the paint since 1871, and that in not single
instance had it failed to give satifaction to his
customers. He also stated that sample cards
showing the different colors were furnished
gratis, application to him by mail or in person.
The numerous large buildings upon which the
paint has been used are an ample guarantee Of
its exceptional merit and it will pay anyone who
proposes to do any painting to consult Mr.. Knight
before having the work done.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE MENNONITES.
People who Follow the Teachings Of
Memo Simon.

Mr.. Elias H. Hershey, of Brinkley's Bridge,
Lancaster county, Pa, writes as follows to the
Baltimore American:
"In your issue of 9th June you published an
account of meeting held in your city by the Re-
formed Mennonites in which some misconceptions
occur, and beg leave to make corrections and
briefly to outline some features of said church.
Their faith, doctrines and practices are in full
harmony with the teachings of Menno Simon, a
reformer and writer who lived in the sixteenth
fury, holding views identical with continuation
of predecessors traceable to the apostolic age The
Reformed Mennonites believe that the fruit of the
new birth is in accord with all the influences of
the love of God in the SOUL Consequently they
advocate that Christians cannot become so far es-
tranged not to be able to unite in visible church
fellowship, and, accordingly, regard the divisions
into discordant bodies of Christian professors as
anti Christian, and they separate in their worship
from such. They believe that the law of Moses is
the basis of good government, and the law of
Christ the basis of the church, and these laws,
conflicting in principal and precept, they hold that
the sheep of Christ are disqualified to use the CO.
ercion needed to maintain order among evil-doers,
and can only rule by love, and hence are not
eligible to any Office in the civil or military gov
eminent, and by virtue Of this principle cannot
vote others into civil Office delegating to them
power they are conscientious to use. They do
not go to war, do not litgate in any and swear
no oath. They practice simplicity, avoiding van
ity and frivolous pleasures. In their church dis
cipline they make the commandments of the New
Testament their guide. While believing faith in
the merits of Jesus Christ to be their only justif
cation, they still practice as wisely ordain-
ed for spiritual edifcation, water baptism, by
pouring "the breaking of bread and drinking of
the cup" in remembrance of Christ washing one
anothers feet, as exemplifed by our Saviour, each
sex observing this ordinance separately, emble-
matte of the divine washing, and of mutual
brotherly duty. In your article, already alluded
to, there are other statements incorrectly setting
forth some of our practices, but as they affect
matters of form only, we do not deem it necessa-
ry to ask your indulgence for further space in
your valuable paper. Should any one desire fur
Their information, I will cheerfully answer inqui-
ries"

Pleuro-Pneumonia Operations.

The chief of the bureau Of animal industry states
that with the object of preventing the extension Of
pleuro- pneumonia the bureau has slaughtered and
paid for 1850 diseased cattle in Maryland. The
head of the bureau relates pleasant incident to
show that his inspections sometimes save directly
as we'll as indirectly. The owner of herd Of
highly bred cattle asked the government to buy
his cattle at fair valuation, to lose them would
bankrupt him. They had the pleuro- pneumonia.
he was sure, but, unless the government would
pay for them he must decline to tell where they
were, and would work them off his hands the best
he could. By persistent inquiry, however, the
herd was finally located and inspected, with the
result that it was found to the owners surprise
and delight that the cattle were not troubled with
pleuro-pneumonia at all. 1t is every ones inter-
est and mercy to stock to report every suspected
case to the bureau.

Famous Maidstone.

The great Terre Haute maidstone, with its eighty
years record of hundreds Applications has twice
more been used within the past few weeks. Mr..
james Walker, Irving's Station, ILL.,, took his
little girl there. She had been bitten by dog
that showed every sign of being rabid. The stone
would not adhere, and it was concluded that if the
dog was mad the virus had remained in the cloth
ing through which the dogs teeth entered the flesh.
There is instance of death in the record of this
stone when it has failed to adhere to the flesh.
Miss Hoover, of Newman, ILL.,, was taken there
terribly lacerated by the bites Of dog that had
died of rabies, and that had bitten other dogs
which died in the same manner. The stone i'm
mediately adhered to one of the wounds, and could
not be removed for fourteen hours, when it dropped
off. During the time the stone took on a dark
color. 1t was cleansed in sweet milk and applied
to another wound, remaining for ten hours. Miss
Hoover returned home, and word has been receiv-
ed that she is steadily improving.

THE NEW JERSEY ENAMEL PAINT.-This arti-
Gle has been on the market in Baltimore since
1871 and is handled by the sole general agent, Mr.
Chas. P. Knight, No. I'll East Lombard street,
new number). 1t has been used extensively on
public and private buildings and the best testi-
monial as to the general excellence of the article
is the fact that it has never failed to give entire
satisfaction. None but the best materials are
used in compromising the Enamel Paint and
wherever it has been applied the general excel
lence of the work and beauty of finish show for
themselves, and any person of experience needs
no better evidence as to its utility and value
These paintS-all colors, which are shown upon
sample cards-are put up in gallon cans and
mixed ready for use which is great advantage
as compared with the ordinary paints in the
matter of handling as well as of APPLYING them.
The Enamel Paint is of uniform quality and Mr.
Knight, the sole agent in Baltimore, handles i'm
mense quantities of it, showing that it is not new
to the public, but is really stable article the
| demand for it increasing with each year. Many
| of the finest buildings in Baltimore have been
| covered with this paint, and where properly ap-
piled it has never failed to give entire satisfac-
| ton. The residence Of HI. G. Longnecker in
| Towsontown, has lately had two coats of this
paint applied to it and the manner in which it is
covered and the excellence of the finish speak for
| themselves. Those who propose doing any paint
ing are invited to inspect this house and see for
| themselves that everything we have said about
| the Enamel Paint is facts. We have no hesita-
| ton in recommending it.
